Xu Ziqing became increasingly frustrated. "Xu Rubao, what makes you think you can monopolize so many good men? Even Lu Mingyu protects you. If they knew you were a slut, I wonder if they would still protect you."

"Xu Ziqing, you'd better shut up."

Upon hearing the words "broken shoe," Xu Rubao was furious. At the very least, she didn't want Lu Jingheng to know about this.

Over the phone, Xu Ziqing felt a strange sense of pressure; she realized she understood Xu Rubao less and less.

"Then...how do you know him?"

“Use your brain. Do you think things would have gotten so easily over if Lu Jingheng hadn’t relented? I agreed to be Lu Jingheng’s slave for a year and signed a contract before he agreed to help. So, Xu Ziqing, I’m warning you, if you dare to say anything out of line in front of Grandpa, I won’t let you off.”

Xu Rubao had to make her words more forceful. After she finished speaking, she added, "How about you come over and switch places with me? You can serve Lu Jingheng?"

Xu Ziqing finally understood that Xu Rubao had secretly gone to find Lu Jingheng.

No wonder, such a big thing back then, the story changed overnight.

At that time, even Grandpa was helpless, thinking that the Xu family was definitely finished this time.

She thought about it for a moment and decisively refused. Lu Jingheng was ill, and there were rumors that he wouldn't live past thirty.

Even if he's the most handsome, she doesn't want to be a widow.

The man who rescued her from Yege last night was actually quite nice. She preferred that handsome guy to Lu Jingheng; she didn't want to marry someone who would die young.

"Xu Rubao, since you promised, you should serve Lu Jingheng like a slave, and I won't say anything more."

Xu Rubao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her agree.

Although Xu Ziqing may not be very bright, she probably knows what's important. If the Xu family goes bankrupt, it won't do her any good either.

"Then you should hurry home. You absolutely mustn't talk about places like Night Song again. You can't always be this lucky."

This Xu Rubao may be a bit ugly, but he still has some use.

"By the way, what's Lu Jingheng like? You...you didn't lose your virginity to him, did you? So the clothes you wore last time, he bought them for you, right? Xu Rubao, you bastard, you lied to me and said you bought them at a street stall. I told you they didn't look like street stall stuff."

Xu Ziqing still harbors resentment towards that dress.

"You're overthinking it. Lu Jingheng isn't that kind of person. If you like him that much, why don't you come over? Lu Jingheng is a weirdo, very difficult to please. I'd be happy if you came to replace him."

As Xu Ziqing listened to her words, only one thought flashed through her mind: the rumors that he was sick must be true.

He must be impotent, which is why he's psychologically abnormal.

This kind of person is the most terrifying.

"No need, you just stay put. I have to go now. That bitch Jiang Siqi, I can't let my brother be cuckolded."

When Xu Rubao heard that she wanted to go home, knowing her personality, she was sure she would make a scene.

"Xu Ziqing, don't tell Grandma about what happened at Yege last night. Otherwise, if Grandpa finds out, he probably won't let me work for Lu Jingheng. If the Xu family goes bankrupt, you won't be able to be the young lady anymore. You know what's good for you, right?"

"Alright, I know, I won't say it."

She's not that stupid; her grandmother has always disliked her.

If Xu Rubao quits, what if Lu Jingheng can't find anyone to vent his anger on and makes things difficult for the Xu family?

The Xu family absolutely cannot be allowed to fail. If they go bankrupt, who knows how some petty shrew will laugh at her.
